Thank you for attending session 311, title, Turning the Mic on John, a celebration of 10 years of Mormon stories.

In this session, Feminist Mormon Housewives podcaster, Lindsey Hanson-Park will host a Mormon Stories interview with John D'Lynn about his most recent Mormon story, being excommunicated from the LDS Church.

John D'Lynn recently received his PhD in Clinical Counseling and Psychology from Utah State University.

He is the creator of several Mormon themed podcast blogs and websites, including the Mormon Stories podcast.

Lindsey Hanson-Park is a woman's rights activist, a feminist blogger, and an advocate against gender violence.

She is the assistant director for the Sunstone Education Foundation and the founder of the Feminist Mormon Housewives podcast.

Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and PR, the Los Angeles Times, and many Utah publications.

So I'm going to turn the time over to Lindsey to conduct this interview, and if there is any time after they are finished for Q&A, we ask people to come up to this mic.

It's a live mic. We want to get everything documented and recorded.

So if you have any questions, please just form a line at the microphone here when it comes to that.

All right. Good morning, John. Good morning, Lindsey.

I want you to pretend that it's just you and me here today.

Okay.

Because I'm so grateful that you decided to meet with me today, so I have some questions for you.

And I feel like we should just get started. So, number one, do you believe in God, the eternal father?

Any ascending disgrace in the Holy Ghost?

And do you have a firm testimony of the restore gospel?

It's complicated.

Okay. Well, actually, I think it's so great to be with you today. 10 years. Let's give him a hand for 10 years.

Okay.

And it's kind of adorable to see him nervous.

That's because I'm going to ask him very personal questions about if he's being chased in a looking at pornography.
